Choosing a counselor can feel like a daunting task, and having a counseling experience built on trust and safety is paramount. I work to ensure that my clients feel as though they have a partnership within the counseling setting as they work to meet their goals.
As a counselor, I work to help my clients maintain stability and safety, while encouraging growth and development. This is achieved through mindfulness techniques, strengthening the mind-body connection, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, among other things. I recognize that each client has unique needs and I work to help meet those needs on an individual basis.
I specialize in working with trauma, addictions, depression/anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and ADHD. I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices, including Acceptance-Commitment therapy, EMDR, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness work to help each client meet their individual goals.
I consider it a great honor to have the opportunity to be a witness to a person’s joys and pains as they navigate the journey of life and self-discovery. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Carl Rogers
I am queer-affirming and welcome clients of any religion, race, and sexual or gender identity.
